little bit of a submarine fanboy. i have a minor non-nazi fascination with Korvettenkapitän Günther Prien the "Bull of Scapa Flow". He took command of his own boat in 1937, and in 1939 he and U-47 became famous for his audacious sinking of the British battleship HMS Royal Oak in the heavily defended British Home Fleet main harbour at Scapa Flow on 14 October. Even Winston Churchill described it as "a remarkable feat of professional skill and daring". Prien was the first U-boat commander to win the Knights Cross. i have a brass U-47 clock in my office, i suspect it is not an original from the actual u-boat.
torpedos los.
